OMG--See Man Eaten Alive By Snake Defending Himself Against Hundreds Of Animal Abuse Claims
Sep 29, 2020
According to the source, in his nearly 10 years studying anacondas in the Amazon, researcher and conservationist Paul Rosolie, 27, has faced his share of danger.
The giant reptile is known to grow to up to 30 feet in length and strikes its prey using its teeth and powerful jaws before crushing it with its massive body. Rosolie has been bitten by one of the snakes and seized by one in a chokehold suffering a broken rib and a nearly popped collarbone before five people were able to pry it off him.
The Discovery Channel has been urged not to show footage of a man being eaten alive by a snake because it is 'animal cruelty'. 
New Jersey native Paul Rosolie fed himself to a 30ft green anaconda in the Amazon rainforest for a program that is due to air on December.
But more than 21,000 people have signed a petition saying the stunt should not be televised because of the perceived risks to the animal and claims that it 'reinforces the negative stereotype of snakes'.
The petition, started by Ben Paramonte, reads: 'This is animal abuse to the highest degree and absolutely disgusting, and could kill the snake - an adult green anaconda cannot fit the width of an adult man's shoulders into its body.
It once again reinforces the negative stereotype of snakes, which one would think would be the opposite of what Discovery should be trying to do.
